STATEN
ISLAND, NY--Eric Bellucci is back on Staten Island today, after the 30-year-old
Annadale resident was brought back in custody from Israel over night. He is a suspect in the stabbing murders of his parents Arthur and Marion Bellucci.

According to police sources, Bellucci is being held at the 120 Precinct;
he will likely be arraigned in criminal court tomorrow.

Bellucci took a
flight to the Middle-Eastern country Wednesday--the bodies of his parents,
brutally stabbed, were found in that night in their home. He was arrested and
extradited at Tel Aviv airport on Friday, while attempting to buy a ticket to
China via Turkey.

Police believed he traveled to Israel to meet a
friend, but were unsure if Bellucci made contact. Bellucci had used a credit
card to rent a car upon arrival.

He suffers from schizophrenia,
according to relatives, and is subject to violent episodes. An airport attendant
told an Israeli TV news reporter that Bellucci appeared unstable, and was
talking to himself at the ticket counter.
